Kind Words is Now Connected to Kind Words 2

Maybe you've noticed I've been updating Kind Words a lot lately. It's all been in preparation for today!

Kind Words 2 is now available!

What does this change for the original Kind Words?

• More players

• More stickers

The sequel contains a remaster of the original that runs on the very same server. That means every new Kind Words 2 player is automatically a Kind Words player.

You will be seeing their requests, responses and airplanes!

Because of you, Kind Words is such an amazing community. We wouldn't dream of splitting it. Two games, one warm internet hug.

Also stickers. Every new sticker for Kind Words 2 is also coming to Kind Words. The first batch already made its way in to circulation during the Kind Words 2 playtests. But today a new batch of 12 stickers will start making their way to your inboxes.

What's the difference between the two games?

Most of the design of Kind Words 2 was inspired by observing what Kind Words players were trying to do in Kind Words, but that just didn't fit the space.

If you've played a lot of Kind Words, you may have run in to off-topic expressions of joy, creativity, invitations to vent or questions about movies and games. These are all great things to share with people and it always hurts to moderate them away. But the design of Kind Words is so focused on requests for comfort, responses and airplanes, that if we didn't do something, the globally shared inbox could fill up with unanswerable messages.

So Kind Words 2 has new, virtual spaces to handle all the quirky and joyful expressions that players have been trying to find a home for for the last 5 years.

I could go on, but I don't want to run afoul of Valve's cross-promotion rules :) The headliner here is: The game you already own, Kind Words, just got a bit more awesome today.

Thanks for being on this ride with us.

Yours, Ziba & Luigi
